Alphanumeric Phone Number Converter
DigitWiz is a handy little freeware utility to assist in one of life's annoying little tasks: converting those name-style alphanumeric telephone numbers into straight numbers for easy dialing.
DigitWiz is included in the family of useful utilites at Rose City Software.
How many times have you tried to convert marketing style phone numbers like 1 800 GOT MILK or 1 888 CAR REPAIR into numbers you can dial? Have you noticed how they even stick extra letters in there so that instead of the required 7 digits, you have 8 or more? Like CAR REPAIR, for example, which is nine - two more than needed. And then after dialing 6 numbers you make a mistake and have to start all over again doing the conversions again in your head, only to give up in disgust and go looking for pencil and paper to decipher in write it out in usable form.
Well we whipped up this handy little freeware utility to do the work for you. Not only will it convert these annoying worded phone numbers into straight numbers, it also includes a handy little area code lookup feature so you can quickly search to see where a particular area code is located in the U.S. or to find out the area code for any city or state (Internet connection required.)
We're not sure just how prevalent this is in all countries but it is certainly common enough in the U.S. that we think our U.S. visitors will find this little tool useful. Compatible with all versions of Windows.
It's completely free, no strings attached and contains absolutely no adware or spyware. And it is available in two modes. A simple install which installs the simple little program executable file to a directory and creates shortcuts for you to access it easily. Or, as a zipped executable file, which you can unzip to anywhere you like with no installation required. This is particularly useful if you want to keep it handy on a flash drive or other external device.
